Ecuador & Galapagos Bespoke

Mingle with rare species, navigate untouched volcanic landscapes and rest like royalty aboard your luxury floating hotel. You'll wake up to a new setting every day as you sail between turquoise coves. Hang with giant tortoises on Isabela Island, lay eyes on penguins and warblers dotting Elizabeth Bay's rocky outlets to kayak with a colony of sea lions in a secluded saltwater lagoon. Drip-dry on your airy sundeck—drink in hand—after adventure-filled days visiting the islands.

There's no end to spectacular encounters with wildlife here. Hike past ancient trees, rare colourful birds and howler monkeys in the Mashpi Biodiversity Reserve's cloud forests. Spot sparkling fireflies surrounded by the faint glow of bioluminescent fungi on the rainforest Luminous Trail. Settle in at luxe tented Galapagos Safari Camp and savour meals made with fresh Ecuadorian ingredients—sourced locally whenever possible. After dinner, gape at the wide-open starry sky before strolling off for your night under canvas.

Swim, hike and walk through white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and tropical island landscapes. Learn about Darwin's 19th c. discoveries from your naturalist guides, who study and preserve this important UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kick back at the remote Pikea Lodge, smack dab in the centre of a giant tortoise reserve. Days are filled with excursions aboard the hotel's Pikaia yacht and evenings are by the pool, drinking in the breathtaking views.
